Sinopse

These natives of Eastern Europe made their way into the Great Lakes like many other invasives — through the ballast water of ocean-going ships. Scientists say similarities between quagga mussels and zebra mussels masked their presence in Lake Superior. Jack Kelly, a researcher at Duluth’s EPA lab, says pinning down their identification didn’t come easy.
